Ares. I walked back home slowly, dragging my school bag along the floor, my head bowed as I looked at the pavement that led to the front porch of our house. It had been my first day at school and while my mother had dropped me off without giving me much information on what to expect, I didn't realize it would be cruel. School was cruel. I pushed open the door, not surprised it wasn't locked. I entered the dark room that looked like no one had lived here for days. But I knew my mom was home. Her scent gave it away and though I didn't know what exactly she smelled off, but the pill bottles discarded around the sitting room gave off the exact smell. I stretched my three year old frame along the wall, searching for the light switch frantically before I found it, turning it on as light flooded the sitting room. Though it was afternoon, the clouds were dark outside, signaling it was going to rain soon adding more darkness to the room and I was glad we had power supply today to
Alora. I stood frozen, unable to breathe as everything froze around me. It was like everyone had vanished leaving behind the monster who tormented me. Jax stood in front of me. A dark sinister smile on his lips as he locked his eyes with mine. “Your hair looks different.” He said, his voice barely above a whisper but I heard him as clear as day. People stopped talking, as their eyes fixed on both Jax and I. They were probably wondering what was happening. “Did you dye it so I wouldn’t find you?” He asked again, his voice sending shivers down my spine as I finally let out a breath and tears filled my eyes. I was a fool. I had left Ares pack, looking to find freedom but instead I was going back to the fire I had once escaped. My heart thundered in my chest and I felt any second, it would jump out to the cold concertante floor. Jax chuckled, his eyes glittered with evil as he kept them on me before he glanced sideways. “Bring her to me.” He told one of his men beside him
Ares. I finished addressing the pack. Everyone was in a state of frenzy and while I could sense their fear I also noticed many of them were genuinely concerned about me. I didn’t miss the look of pity a few gave me. Many of them glanced my way and it angered me that for a second they thought I was vulnerable and hurt about Alora leaving. They probably thought I was in love with her, and she had rejected my love by running away. And though I didn’t understand how exactly I felt towards Alora, I still didn't want anyone thinking I was weak. Love was a weakness and I didn’t want my pack members to look up to me as nothing less than a powerful Alpha. “Is she your mate?” Someone from the pack asked suddenly and all eyes fixed on me. In the crowd were wolves of different ages and despite my pack being a huge one with about three thousand wolves present, I knew some still stayed at home for important reasons. “No.” I responded briefly. “When do you think you’ll find your mate?
**Trigger warning self-harm. Ares. I felt myself dreaming. I knew the exact time I left the real world and drowned myself in my subconscious. The last bell rang for the end of class and my three year old self went to the corridors to wash my hands when I saw my homeroom teacher standing outside the classroom with another teacher. Mrs Shin was a nice Chinese lady who taught our class and after the palm painting, she had left the classroom. I smiled, starting to go to her when I heard her conversation with Mrs Dray of Class 2. “I heard his mother was raped. How true is that?” Mrs Dray asked and I frowned. My three year old self struggled to understand what they were talking about. But I was too inquisitive to leave as I stood, looking up at them as they were deep in conversation not realizing I was standing far off. “I don’t think so. She’s a Russian girl! You know how they are.” Mrs Shin said, rolling her eyes. “They said she worked at a club where she met that famous Mr
Alora. I didn’t know how much time had passed, didn’t know how long I had been here. But what I knew was that I was tired, numb and in pain. My twisted ankle was long, numb, swollen in a dark bruise and every now and then when I tried to move it ached badly making me cry all over again. My body was sore all over from being in the same position for hours, and I felt so dirty. My head was in a constant ache like a drum patrol was going on there leaving me in a state of constant torment. My hands were numb behind me and my neck ached from when Ares had grabbed me. Thinking about Ares again, I let more tears fall past my eyes. It wasn’t only the guilt of leaving him,m at his weakest but also because of the way he had looked at me. Like I was some betrayal, some stain to him. I couldn’t bear those hateful blue eyes directed at me. And it only confused me why I felt that way. Why did I want Ares to look at me in some other loving and soft way? Why did I crave his attention, his c
Ares. I couldn’t help glancing at Alora the whole night, her red hair was sprawled all over my pillows and her eyes closed, with long black eye lashes resting against her soft round cheek. Isabel had left a few minutes ago and it was no surprise that Alora hadn’t even woken up while she cleaned her wounds and wrapped her injured ankle with a bandage. She had also taken time to clean off the dirt on her face and most thankfully, she hadn’t sustained any broken ribs. I ran my fingers through my hair as I rested against my chair, shutting down the laptop that had the report from my office. There had been more attacks in the buildings and many of them hadn’t been disclosed to the media yet. There was a mole in the pack, someone was feeding Jax information. And he was using it to stay ahead of me and no matter how many times I tried to match up to the bastard, it was like he was one step further, he knew my moves. I frowned, it was mostly because had the backing of the elder. A lo
Alora. I watched Ares leave the room angrily. His words hurt me but I didn’t let them get to me. I wanted to say something but I kept quiet as he slammed the door making me jump. I didn’t know what to do. Ares said he trusted me but maybe he didn’t really do to the extent where he thought I could help him. I didn’t want to see him struggle continuously, I wanted him to find peace and be happy. But I didn’t know how to go about it. I didn’t know how to show Ares that everyone deserves happiness. I felt my fingers trail across the brand on my stomach where Ajax’s property had been smeared onto my skin. The only way I could show Ares that I had been broken and healed was by showing him who I was before I found happiness here. I had to tell him I was Jax’s slave. I had to tell him Jax had tortured me, owned me and used me. That way, any doubt he had about me being Jax’s spy would all be dispersed and he would be on my side. I didn’t want Ares to feel like he couldn’t trust me,
Ares. “Mom!” I yelled as I pushed open the door of my house as my teacher smiled and waved at me as she walked off leaving me on the front porch as I slammed the door to call my mothers attention. “Mom! I’m home!” I shouted, knocking the door to the house before I went to the window. I peeped inside and I noticed it was dark with only a small light coming from the TV. Dripping my bag, I took out my pencil from my case before pushing it underneath the window and sliding my fingers through the under.Then I pulled it up. The window opened and I grabbed my bag before climbing in and dropping down inside the house. I smiled victoriously as I dusted off the dust of my trousers then looked around. The house was a mess, the tables overturned and the chairs too, it was like a monster had come in here and turned everything upside down. The tv had broken also, the picture frames all broken and littered against the floor and I frowned, looking around for my mother. She had started to k
